Hello,

I have a question.

Is there a way to set the depth of the water plane?

Renderer draw shadows on the water surface but also to the bottom of the water (which is kinda not deep enough).

I basicly want only shadows to be drawn on water surface, not to the bottom of the plane.

Any way of doing this? See screenshot

I see Watermesh depth but I'm not using watermesh, only water class and it don't have any depth settings.

Thanks

   

How can you not be using the Watermesh?? Unless you have completely re-written how water works in the engine, you are user Watermesh.

If you created the water in the Editor, Depth is a value in the Water menu, just click on the water and set the depth. If you created it in code, then just set the depth value.

in init
Water.colorMap(Images.ptrGet("Water/0.gfx")).normalMap(Images.ptrGet("Water/0.n.gfx")).reflectionMap(Images.ptrGet("Water/reflection.gfx"));
Water.color=Vec(0.12, 0.20, 0.28);
Water.draw =true;
Water.plane.set(Vec(0,-50,0),Vec(0,1,0));
Water.wave_scale=0.01f;
Water.scale_normal=100;
Water.scale_bump=1000;

then in update
//update water
Water.update(Vec2(0.02f, 0.02f));

Hmm that is an interesting way to do it. So you just have 1 really big water plane accross the whole world huh? Technically the depth would be controlled by where the HM is at that location then. I changed your plane to Water.plane.set(Vec(0,75,0),Vec(0,1,0)); and as you can see, the water is a lot deeper now

Yes one big water plane

with Water.plane.set(Vec(0,75,0),Vec(0,1,0));
u just set plane height 75 higher doing so VS my way which goes below the y=0 point.

don't do anything to depth

I don't need a world file, so the water plane can go below y=0 line. I just need to adjust depth not Y position.

Ok seems the straight one is the shadows and the other one reflection ...

If I turn reflection off it just vanish

so Now I need to know why reflection is that dark

Messing with reflection powers did the trick
